I was browsing other forums and came across a topic on aerodynamics of RVs. Just wondering if anyone has used this product. What are your actual experiences good or bad?

Web site is airtab.com

Relax, drive safely, and enjoy God's creations.

I don't like the way they look, but if they work as well as they claim, it might be worth looking in to. Let's see if someone has any feedback. I'm going to Alaska in a week and if it keeps the rear of the MH clean I'd be interested.

I have no experience with them other than seeing them on a couple of rigs. My guess is that they will fall in the same category as The Tornado or other electric air induction kit. Sounds reasonable, you want to believe it, but the money spent would do better going towards a new air filter or something

I am a skeptic. I ran a car web site for about 6 years and I was amazed at the snake oil people would try to pawn off.

I put a set on before going to the '06 iRV2 National. I may have gained a little mileage and improved the handling but there are so many varibles with mileage and handling that I can not say one way or the other..the back still gets dirty, maybe not as dirty as before ..would I do it again... no

The ad says that they pay for themselves in six months. The way I look at it is 26 weeks times 40 hours per week equals 1040 hours of driving( or 130 eight hour days) times 60 MPH equals 62,400 miles to pay for themselevs. My mh already has 31k miles on it, so I would have to drive it until it has 93,400 miles. I don't think that will happen.

The numbers do not add up for me.

I figure if they really did work I'd seen them on all the Trucks and commercial buses by now.
